[shigeo]

[He turns bright red, looking down and away, too shy to look in Joshua's face.] It's... still surprising... [Having someone this blatantly flirtatious with him and not using it to bully him.] It's nice, though... [He adds with a bit of haste, trying not to push away Joshua and hurt his feelings. After all, the affectionate touch was pretty intense - even behind his tightly clamped emotional state, he could feel his heart thudding with excitement and fondness and validation.]

[lusito]

Good! I wouldn't be having as much fun if you weren't enjoying yourself too.

[Joshua hums a little in thought here, considering.]

As for activities to do next... actually, hang on.

[Joshua reaches into his pocket, taking out his cellphone. He flips it open and goes to the camera setting, pressing some buttons here so that the camera is facing the two of them.]

Would if be alright if I took a picture of you with me here?

[shigeo]

Oh, sure... [Suddenly he needs to lean a little closer to be in frame, and he's sure that he's going to catch fire if his face gets any warmer... Shigeo is pretty oblivious to the fact that he's starting to float them a little once they're close and both in frame.]

[lusito]

[Joshua does notice, but that just makes him giggle a little here.]

Smile, Shigeo.

[Click. The camera snaps the photo, and now Shigeo will be able to see himself and Joshua immortalized together on this selfie! ... And also floating a little, but Joshua still seems pretty happy with the results.]

Hee Hee. I think I might even make this my wallpaper on here.

[shigeo]

[He doesn't smile, he has a hard time smiling on command. But at least Joshua manages to capture a relatively happy expression. Which only gets more flustered and happy looking when he sees the picture, then hears that. That's... really romantic. He always wanted to do that, too.] Um, me too...

[lusito]

[Ding! The picture is now being sent via text message to your phone so that you can have it as your wallpaper too!]

How's that, dear? Now we're a matching set.

[shigeo]

[He takes out his phone to see, and blinks at it, surprised.] Oh... I was floating.

[lusito]

Indeed! I think it's quite cute, honestly.

[He says, as he pokes at Shigeo's cheek a little teasingly here. How could someone not think it was adorable, seeing Shigeo float like that?]

[shigeo]

Sorry... I'm not supposed to pick people up with my powers. [But he doesn't sound too upset, since Joshua thought it was cute.]

[lusito]

It's alright. I used to have a bad habit of doing that myself back in the beginning, when I was first coming into my own here.

[When he was... um. First dealing with the "being dead" thing.]

[shigeo]

Mm... I'm surprised you look like a person.

[He can sense and feel Joshua, so it's not like he's forgotten that Joshua is dead... it's just a far cry from his usual encounter with ghosts.]

I don't like to fly around too much... I get motion sickness.

[lusito]

Well... how I look now is more closer to how I used to look in order to be approachable: as the Composer, my true appearance tends to intimidate people more often than most.

That's a shame though that you don't like flying: I tend to find it enjoyable, though my old mentor does get annoyed sometimes if he catches me out somewhere instead of doing work or something instead.

[... It doesn't stop Joshua from blowing the guy off and still dicking around anyway, though.]

[shigeo]

Is that the person that was calling you before...?

[lusito]

Indeed it was.

... Rather rude, I might add, given that I was with guests at the time when he called. The least he could have done was wait until I wasn't busy, but that's Mr. H for you I suppose.

[Wow speaking of which, his phone suddenly lights up with a text from "Sanae, H"]

You do know that I can tell whenever you're talking about me behind my back, right?

[shigeo]

[Shigeo stares at the phone for a moment.] ...It's rude to eavesdrop on people...

[lusito]

Indeed. I'd hope a middle-aged man would have better things to do with his time than eavesdrop on our dates, but I guess even he gets lonely sometimes.

[NEW TEXT MESSAGE: Okay I don't actually know what you said that time, but knowing you, it was something insulting. Just for that, I'm doubling your tab next time you try to acquire free coffee at my shop.]

[shigeo]

[Lonely middle-aged men........]

He should talk to Reigen-shou.

[lusito]

Oh? Think that they'd have something in common to talk about?

[... He might be trying not to laugh as he says that, though.]

[shigeo]

Reigen-san also is a lonely middle-aged man. [Blunt as a hammer...]

[lusito]

[Okay no Joshua cannot hold back, he is definitely laughing now.]

Wow, you sure don't mince words, do you?

[shigeo]

Ah... should I have? [Hmm.] Reigen-san can be pushy, too... but I wouldn't say it where he could hear.

[lusito]

Well, isn't that considerate of you.

[... Joshua has no such consideration for Mister H.]

[shigeo]

Mm.

[It's more like he wouldn't hear the end of it...]

...I don't like being watched like that.

[lusito]

Neither do I.

[Which is why he's casually flipping his phone closed and back into his pocket.]

So, have you thought of anything that you'd like to do next on our date?

[shigeo]

... [What did he always care about? After a moment to think, Shigeo offers a small shrug.] The only thing I ever wanted to do was to walk a girl home, hand-in-hand, as the sun sets...
